You should really try to live your childhood when you’re a child, because if you do it when you’re 26, it can be dangerous.

I have had the occasion to meet child actors from the '60s and '70s at various functions, and everyone's gone on to various different lives - they're real-estate agents or surfers.

When I got back into the film business after college, I started out as a production assistant.

From the age of 8, I learned that nothing in the entertainment industry is real. It's all fake. Your face, your clothes, what you say - it's all a fake.

It takes a pillage.

I always think everything is going to last forever, but nothing ever does. In fact nothing exists longer than an instant except the thing that we hold in memory

Without education we are in a horrible and deadly danger of taking educated people seriously.

My main object in life is to see what will happen next.

Its always a shock to me when I get recognized.

I want people to surprise themselves. Instead of saying "Oh, god, didn't we already do this 17 times?"

Music has always been part of my life.

The divine harbinger of summer - warm rain.

The universe was a vast machine yesterday, it is a hologram today. Who knows what intellectual rattle we'll be shaking tomorrow.
